OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 30, 1912.

Application filed September 13, 1911. Serial No. 649,036.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. Nu'r'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at J onesboro, in the county of Oraighead and State of Arkansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to burners, and more particularly to the class of oil burners.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of an oil burner in which crude or refined oil may be burned for generating a high degree of heat with the utilization of a minimized amount of oil.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an oil burner which is capable of being introduced in proper position into a stove, either of a cooking or heating type, and also that may be used in an orchard heater, or for any other purpose desired.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a burner in which the oil fuel,

- when delivered to the burner, will be converted into gas for ignition, so that in this manner the quantity of oil used is minimized, and the safety of the burner is assured.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure l is a side elevation of a burner constructed in accordance with the invention, the same being shown connected with a supply pipe and reservoir therefor. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation of the supply pipe, showing the burner and pan in vertical section. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Similar reference characters indicate cor responding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 5 designates an oil supply pipe which may be of any desirable length, and is formed at one end with an elbow 6, from which leads a vertical feed pipe 7, on which is threaded or otherwise secured a cylindrical burner body 8 having a closed flat top 9, and a dished bottom 10, the feed pipe 7 opening centrally into the said burner body 8, the side wall of the burner body 8 being provided near the fiat top with a plurality of oil discharging orifices or apertures 11, through which the oil is discharged for ignition thereof to produce the flame.

At a point below the burner body 8 is a catch pan 12, the latter surrounding the feed pipe 7 which extends centrally therethrough, the said pan 12 being threaded or otherwise secured to the feed pipe 7 and is adapted to catch oil discharged from the burner body 8 on the initial entrance of the oil thereinto. It is of course understood that the oil contained within the pan 12 is ignited for heating the contents of the burner body 8, so that the oil therein will be converted into gas which will be emitted through the orifices or openings 11 for ignition.

Provided in the supply pipe 5 are independent cut-ofl" valves 13 and 14 which are spaced from each other and are adapted to control the supply of oil from said supply pipe 5 to the burner, the valves being of the ordinary well-known construction.

The supply pipe 5, at the end opposite the elbow 6, is provided with an upturned inlet pipe 15, which is of considerably greater length than the feed pipe 7, and carries at its free end an oil tank or reservoir 16, in which is introduced the crude or refined oil to be burned, in a manner herevertical portion of the pipe and having a said burner body being further provided central threaded aperture engaging the With a concave bottom. 10 threads on the pipe at the medial point In testimony whereof I affix my signathereof, and a hollow cylindrical burner ture in presence of tWo Witnesses.
